More quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
In tragedy great men are more truly great than in history. We see them only in the crises which unfold them.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Cavalry is useful before, during, and after the battle.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Men soon get tired of shedding their blood for the advantage of a few individuals, who think they amply reward the soldiers perils with the treasures they amass.

Napoleon Bonaparte
Nothing is more destructive than the charge of artillery on a crowd.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The barbarous custom of having men beaten who are suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be abolished. It has always been recognized that this way of interrogating men, by putting them to torture, produces nothing worthwhile.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Man is entitled by birthright to a share of the earth's produce sufficient to fill the needs of his existence.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A man is known by his conduct to his wife, to his family, and to those under him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I shall be an Attila to Venice.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Republican despotism is more fertile in acts of tyranny, because everyone has a hand in it.
